A 150 x 150 mm indoor tactile and Grade 1 Braille sign that identifies a lift using raised white lettering, a lift pictogram and Braille. Permanent self-adhesive backing supports straightforward wall mounting beside the lift.
Lift tactile and Braille signs identify a lift for blind and partially sighted people using raised lettering, a lift symbol and Grade 1 Braille. Position this indoor sign beside the lift entrance, where it can be seen at close range and reached by touch before the user enters the lift.
Where to Install
You should mount this sign on a fixed wall beside the lift entrance, where someone approaching the lift can locate it before entering. Keep it within comfortable reach for tactile reading and avoid placing it on the moving lift doors, behind furniture or where queues and other fittings regularly obstruct access.
Viewing Distance
This tactile sign is designed primarily for close identification rather than long-distance direction finding. Its position should therefore allow both visual recognition at close range and physical access to the raised lettering and Braille. A precise metre or feet viewing distance should not be treated as a certified specification for this product.
| Sign size | Practical approach | Positioning guidance |
|---|---|---|
| H 150 x W 150 mm | Close-range identification and tactile contact | Install beside the lift where the sign can be approached, located and touched without obstruction. |
Expected Safety Outcomes After Installation
Correct positioning gives people an additional accessible means of confirming that they have reached the lift, particularly where visual information alone may not be sufficient.
✅ Earlier identification of the lift when a person reaches the lift area.
✅ Clearer confirmation through raised lettering, Grade 1 Braille and the lift pictogram.
✅ Reduced uncertainty at the entrance for people using touch or residual vision to identify facilities.

Installation Guidance
Avoid poor lift-side positioning
❌ Do not attach the sign to moving lift doors where tactile reading could be interrupted.
❌ Do not position it behind furniture, bins, plants or other items that restrict physical access.
❌ Do not place it so far from the lift that its relationship with the lift entrance becomes unclear.
Understand what the sign cannot do
❌ Do not rely on this close-range tactile sign as the sole means of directing people to a lift from elsewhere in the building.
❌ Do not treat the sign as a substitute for accessible lift controls, building information or other appropriate access measures.
❌ Do not use it outdoors when the confirmed product specification is for indoor display.
Make tactile access practical
✅ Mount it on a clean, suitable fixed wall using the permanent self-adhesive backing.
✅ Keep the Braille and raised lettering unobstructed and comfortably accessible to touch.
✅ Check the position from the normal approach to the lift so the sign can be located before the person reaches the doors.
